Chad L. Stephens,
President and CEO, commented, "PHX generated our second-highest
quarter for royalty volumes in our history, validating the quality
of our asset base even amidst continued volatility in commodity
pricing. We remain positive on natural gas prices as we move
into a seasonal stronger period and are seeing sequential increased
rig activities on and around our mineral acreage, further
bolstering our longer-term outlook.
"During the quarter, we saw a growing pipeline of attractive
M&A opportunities," continued Mr. Stephens. "We purchased 325 net royalty acres
for $3.0 million and replaced 100% of
the wells in progress that converted to production. We also reduced
our debt by $1.0 million sequentially
with cashflow generated from our production. With a strong
balance sheet, and a proven track record of acquiring attractive
mineral assets that produce cash flow even during challenging
pricing, we are well-positioned for continued success.
"Our risk-mitigated business is built for resilient and
sustainable profitability even during challenging pricing
environments, and our strategic advantages are evident through
commodity price cycles," concluded Mr. Stephens.

Quarter Ended Sept. 30, 2024
Results
The Company recorded net income of $1.1
million, or $0.03 per diluted
share, for the quarter ended Sept. 30,
2024, as compared to net income of $1.90 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2023. The change in net
income was principally the result of a decrease in natural gas, oil
and NGL sales, a decrease in lease bonuses, an increase in
transportation, gathering and marketing expenses and an increase in
depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, partially offset
by an increase in gains associated with our derivative
contracts.
Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 11%, for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2024, compared to the
quarter ended Sept. 30, 2023, due to
decreases in natural gas, oil, and NGL prices of 17%, 5%, and 4%,
respectively, and a decrease in oil volumes of 5%, partially offset
by increases in natural gas and NGL volumes of 2% and 7%,
respectively.
The increase in royalty production volumes during the quarter
ended Sept. 30, 2024, as compared to
the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2023,
resulted primarily from new wells being brought online in the
Haynesville Shale and SCOOP plays.
The Company had a net gain on derivative contracts of
$1.1 million for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2024, comprised of a
$0.9 million gain on settled
derivatives and a $0.2 million
non-cash gain on derivatives, as compared to a net loss of
($0.3) million for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2023. The change in net
gain on derivative contracts was due to the Company's settlements
of natural gas and oil collars and fixed price swaps and the change
in valuation caused by the difference in Sept. 30, 2024 pricing relative to the strike
price on open derivative contracts.
Nine Months Ended Sept. 30,
2024 Results
The Company recorded net income of $2.2
million, or $0.06 per diluted
share, for the nine months ended Sept. 30,
2024, as compared to a net income of $11.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the nine months
ended Sept. 30, 2023. The change in
net income was principally the result of a decrease in natural gas,
oil and NGL sales, a decrease in gains associated with our hedge
contracts, a decrease in gains on asset sales, an increase in
transportation, gathering and marketing expenses and an increase in
depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, partially offset
by a decrease in income tax provision.
Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue decreased $3.2 million, or 11%, for the nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2024, compared to the nine
months ended Sept. 30, 2023, due to a
decrease in natural gas prices of 22% and decreases in oil and NGL
volumes of 6% and 1%, respectively, partially offset by an increase
in gas volumes of 7%.
The production increase in royalty volumes during the nine
months ended Sept. 30, 2024, as
compared to the nine months ended Sept. 30,
2023, resulted primarily from new wells in the Haynesville
Shale and SCOOP plays coming online. The production decrease in
working interest volumes during the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months
ended Sept. 30, 2023, resulted from
natural production decline and working interest divestitures.
The Company had a net gain on derivative contracts of
$1.3 million for the nine months
ended Sept. 30, 2024, comprised of a
$3.8 million gain on settled
derivatives and a $2.5 million
non-cash loss on derivatives, as compared to a net gain of
$3.6 million for the nine months
ended Sept. 30, 2023. The change in
net gain on derivative contracts was due to the Company's
settlements of natural gas and oil collars and fixed price swaps
and the change in valuation caused by the difference in
Sept. 30, 2024 pricing relative to
the strike price on open derivative contracts.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
This press release includes certain "non-GAAP financial
measures" as defined under the rules and regulations of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including
Regulation G. These non-GAAP financial measures are calculated
using GAAP amounts in the Company's financial statements. These
measures, detailed below, are provided in addition to, not as an
alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the
information contained in the Company's financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes thereto),
included in the Company's SEC filings and posted on its
website.
Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
The Company defines "adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA,
excluding non-cash gains (losses) on derivatives and gains (losses)
on asset sales and including cash receipts from (payments on)
off-market derivatives and restricted stock and deferred directors'
expense. The Company has included a presentation of adjusted EBITDA
because it recognizes that certain investors consider this amount
to be a useful means of measuring the Company's ability to meet its
debt service obligations and evaluating its financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash
flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use
identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss)

Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA (TTM) Reconciliation
"Debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM)" is defined as the ratio of
long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA on a trailing 12-month (TTM)
basis. The Company has included a presentation of debt-to-adjusted
EBITDA (TTM) because it recognizes that certain investors consider
such ratios to be a useful means of measuring the Company's ability
to meet its debt service obligations and for evaluating its
financial performance. The debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio has
limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from
operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared
in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, this presentation of debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM)
may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other
companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net
income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA on a TTM basis and of the
resulting debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio:
